October 19, 1864 - Before Dawn, Jubal Early's veteran Confederate Army unleashed one of the most vicious and successful surprise attacks of the Civil War against Philip Sheridan's sleeping Federal Army.
Military Historian Joseph W. Whitehouse takes you back to that fateful, foggy morning to critical locations on the battlefield. Extensive action from the 1990 Cedar Creek re-enactment, animated maps, dramatic vignettes, period photographs and drawings, bring this critical battle to life with a clear understanding of how Early's bold morning victory turned into the end of Confederate power in the Shenandoah Valley by sundown that same day.
Cedar Creek was a pivotal and decisive battle in Lincoln's November 1864 re-election and Lee's ultimate defeat. Video taped on location at the Cedar Creek Battlefield and the Belle Grove Mansion in the historic Virginia Shenandoah Valley. Originally produced by Video Vision and released on VHS in 1991.
This is the best digital transfer we could muster as the original VHS (various artifacts), but this is a great time-capsule from the late 1980s. Incredible footage and a great capture of this event from now 30 years ago.
We hope you enjoy. This is another in a series of postings on our CZcams channel of a cool New series of Old videos -- featured only on here -- taken from a personal collection of re-enacting films and videos from the 1980s that can't be found anywhere else, or else we've tried to find them for nostalgia's sake, but did our own digging and presenting the results of our treasure hunt here. Some are taken from VHS originals or DVD transfers from those VHS copies. Originals were in Standard Def or Videotaped off of TV when they first aired. Some shot professionally and others by individuals with "portable" home video cameras on their shoulders.

the 159th Cedar Creek is coming up in a few weeks and sadly I won't be attending ...thanks pards for sharing this 1990 recap. *LIKED* the video
I was at this Cedar Creek event, and many others over the years but this was a standout due to its size and the cold.
Coldest nights I've ever spent in a tent at any reenactment. Water buckets and canteens frozen, thick icy frost on the ground and tents.
The pre dawn battle was almost impossible to do, trying to march up the hill to meet the yankees we were all sliding and falling down, trying to load rifles and cap them with shaking frozen fingers was an experience.
Cedar Creek over the years was always a favorite event.
I have this on VHS, so thankful its been uploaded. I hoped to see one more Cedar Creek in person, but seeing a few glimpses of myself here was great.
Charles Calvert...I was there as well on a Confederate 3" Ordinance Rifle cannon. The setup the night before was as you described...cold as hell and windy. Made it tough to set up the tent! I slept with every part of me covered except my mouth and nose. When I awoke, we had to break the ice on the water buckets to make coffee and I had frost in my whiskers.
During the battle the plan was that we would be overrun but that didn't happen this time because the Union Cavalry was too slow to even catch us as we withdrew that piece, by hand, from the field. Made a few of the Northern re-enactors mad, but horses are faster than any man on foot, let alone pulling a cannon! LOL
I wouldn't give you a nickel to do that one again but would take no amount to remove that one from my memory of that weekend. Thanks for sharing!
@@alanstrawn732 Fantastic! I love hearing stories from around the battlefield.
I was with a Maryland Confederate unit, next to George Hefner aka Gen Early, we couldn't get up that hill, it was hysterical, we did hear a slow prolonged cavalry battle in the woods, yanks got a little ahead of us but we eventually got up the hill after we all scraped the frost off the grass, like spinningour wheels. Did you see the crazy stray dog jumping at rifle fire? It was an odd event.
I camped with Hefner and Dale McCabe aka Jeb Stuart, Dale was a friend and neighbor. The campfire singing was us, sorry if we kept you up.
I spent about 20 years reenacting, went to alot of cedar creeks, that was by far the coldest.
I never got a chance to serve on a big gun, did infantry, cavalry, signal corps, staff. Now just an SCV member.
Col. Charles Russell Lowell RIP great great uncle
Thanks for another good old school re-enactment video, especially since it brought back great memories of attending the Cedar Creek re-enactments in the falls of the early 2000s while I was at law school at Washington & Lee up the Valley. Lion Heart”s motto should be “History the way it should be Shown- Just the Facts - No Bias”
My great-great grandfather fought at Cedar Creek with Sheridan. Thanks for posting this.
Eternal Shame On The Old Terrorist - YOU To dc s !
Mine did as well! 128th NY Regiment, Co. F.
My Great Great Grandfather Pvt. Simon N Secrest Fought With The 116Th Ohio Here. He was In Crooks Corps, 1Division Under Col. Thoburn, and In the first brigade under Ltc Wildes. This documentary really helped me understand what he went though
The actor playing Grant has a striking resemblance to the man himself.
+ thanks for share +
Where are the animated maps providing clarity???
It was on 19th Oct. 1864 but why 1990?
The date of the reenactment
